Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off

Best in the West Nugget CookoffLabor day is fast approaching, and that means barbecue time for both amateurs and professionals alike. The 17th annual Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off will be help Labor Day weekend in Sparks, NV. $16,500 in cash prizes and some of the world’s best ribs will make their appearance at this seminal event.

Last year’s champions, Checkered Pig BBQ from Martinsville, VA. will no doubt be back to defend their title against 24 other teams from across the country.

It’s not just an event for the competitors though. Guests make the rounds sampling their favorites at $18 a rack, $10 a half rack, or $5 for a few bones. Last year, 300,000 visitors consumed 148,000 pounds of St. Louis style pork ribs. No mention of how much beer was consumed.
